Multi-select where each selection represents multiple values

Hi there, 

Wondering if there is a way to have multi-select selections that themselves map to multiple possible values. My universe of possible values is large but can be grouped. I'd like the selections in my multi-select to represent the resultant groups but for any constituent of the group to match the selection of the group. 

Example:

Group 1: A, B, C, D
Group 2: 1, 2, 3, 4
Group 3: A1, B1, C1, D1

The field can only contain one value (either A or B or C etc.) but I do not want my multi-select to have an option for each of the group constituents (i.e., A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, A1, B1, C1, D1).

Instead, I would like the user to be able to select Group 1 and for that to result in a match if the field has either A or B or C or D. 

If the user selects Group 2, that should be matched by either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

If the user selects Group 3, that should be matched by either A1 or A2 or A3 or A4.

etc. 

So essentially I need a field whose value is itself a search.

Thanks in advance
